My older sister runs a printing studio on Guemes Island, which is one of the San Juans (it is a 5 minute ferry ride from Anacortes). People go crabbing there a lot, so much that she made a print/painting of crab pots. You should check it out, and the other sea-inspired stuff she makes too! Here is a link to that print: http://slowshirts.com/product/crab-pots-print

As far as “cleaning” crab goes, it can be pretty brutal to “put them down” in a humane (not possible!) way. My dad has a crab guillotine we use when we're out in the San Juans. Puts an axe straight through the middle of the crab. It's horrifying – but he claims it's the “nicest” way to do it.

I just read your most recent post and now I need to find the granola ingredients here in Norway so I can make some of it myself! I am not lured in by store-made stuff since there really isn't any sold here!

Thanks again for the great post!

My cousin was furious. Today, she serves Dungeness crab for Christmas Eve. I think I'll invite her to go crabbing with me. Thanks for writing about your adventure!

Maybe next year I can bring home the bacon (or crab).
